My in season selection (ie favorite) is Suh over McCoy ... I just feel he will be gone before we draft. With the lousy play of St. Louis & Tampa Bay, KC & Cleveland, Tennessee & Oakland ... I feel we may not pick until 6-8?

Why couldn't this be the year for the 0-16 run, we may have had some competition!

Even if we get Calvin back, we would be playing away against Seattle next week. Tough stadium and they have Hasselback QBing for them. He spread it out to 9 recievers in the loss to an improving Dallas team.I'm not marking that as a win even with a healthy team.

Cleveland is the only one we should win.

We are realistically looking at a 2 win team this year. Yay! Improvement!

I'll be very happy if we draft #1 overall again. That is how you get the impact talent to become a champion down the road.

Sarcastic ... right?
This team is spending themselves broke! How many top 10 overall contracts are on this team, or are the Lions paying for? C Johnson, Stafford, Backus, Sims (Harrington, Williams, Williams, Rogers could still possibly be on the books as well!!)

There is a reason teams like New England are constantly trying to trade out of their first round pick. Scout 2nd, 3rd 4th round gems while avoiding the mega contract to an unproven commodity.

Yeah, having to give unproven players 40 million guaranteed is how teams fail. You are giving Suh an Albert Haynesworth contract basically. What a joke!

i would prefer 3rd-10th. any of the 5 or so top non QB prospects would help this team dramatically. give me suh, mccoy, berry, or okung. if we trade down then mays, patrick robinson, and/or cody. now that i'm dreaming... patrick robinson, terrance cody, and brandon graham would be a nice trade down package.

actually an all rookie team plus stafford, calvin, julian, foote, and delmas would be an improvement.

I think this could be a good year for teams to trade up to #1. Especially with the Redskins hovering around Top 5 area. Dan Snyder isn't afraid to spend money, or draft picks. I can see him becoming enamored with a QB, like Clausen, and just breaking the bank for him. I don't know, maybe the trade could be #1/our pick for 2010 Round 1 (#5-7?), Round 2 and 2011 Round 1. Trade ups have been pretty cheap the past couple of years though so who knows.. just throwing it out there.
